Poison Blowfish Sushi

2 Chronicles 25-28

There is a certain type of sushi called Fugu that is made from poison blowfish. If prepared correctly it is a culinary delight, but if prepared incorrectly it paralyzes the diner and death results within hours. Reading through the slate of Judah's kings in 2 Chronicles reminds me of poison blowfish. It seems that some of the kings were prepared incorrectly and lead to the paralysis and death of Israel, while their fathers or sons were wonderful kings who pleased the Lord. What ingredient in the makeup of man is it that can go so wrong... it all goes back to the garden when sin and evil entered into the DNA of man. We need a savior who can cleanse us from the poison; praise God we have one.
